We all know that life is not in black and white, nor is Project Management.

Experienced Project Managers know when and how to adapt the project management tools and techniques so that they can help the most, are relevant, and add value to their projects and organizations.

In this presentation  Simona Bonghez (LinkedIn profile) advocates for using Agile practices, even in waterfall projects, and gives examples from real life situations where specific practices were successfully used.

The advantages and possible setbacks will be illustrated and discussed with the audience.

Why are you spending money?
Are you spending it on the right things?
Benefits management answers the former, but a framework helps you answer the latter.

Every programme and portfolio now uses benefits management processes to demonstrate return on investment.

However, benefits management isn’t applied consistently to all projects and programmes at all phase-gates, which means that decisions on what to increase/ decrease/ start/ stop are made without being able to make proper comparisons.

A benefits management framework delivers 2 things:

  1. consistency, allowing better decisions and delivering more success, and
  2. application of benefits management throughout the life cycle, from problem definition through to lessons learnt.

This webinar supports the APM publication A guide to using a benefits management framework and takes participants through the implementation process.

From developing and refining the benefits management methodologies you will use, through which programmes to migrate when, to structuring portfolios, tranches and stage gates and taking action on deviation from plan.

A blog What is a benefits management framework and how can you use it? introduces the benefits management framework.

Presenter: Hugo Minney PhD. (LinkedIn profile), is a Registered Project Professional and committee member of the APM Benefits SIG.

The portrait of financial stress among today’s employees may not look like employers think it does, because it doesn’t belong only to employees on the low end of the pay scale.

Certainly, employees living paycheck-to-paycheck without enough in an emergency fund to cover unexpected expenses are financially stressed. But there are many more employees who experience financial stress – those who may be able to cover basic needs, but are not able to meet a myriad of other financial responsibilities they have, such as elder care and medical bills.

While it happens in varying degrees, nearly every employee wants some type of relief from their financial stress, and employers can help. Relieving some of employees’ financial stress enables them to be more productive, engaged employees.

In this webcast, Shannon Lane (LinkedIn profile) will:

  • Take a deep dive into why so many employees are financially stressed;
  • Look at four financially-stressed employees — how they look at their financial situation, what their financial behavior is like and what financial choices they make based on those available to them; and
  • Discuss how employers can help employees do more with their money and achieve some level of financial flexibility.
